Why did God create Evil?

[Chad32]

Answer: Isaiah 45:7 in the King James Version reads, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”

Quick google search brought me to this. The beloved KJV says he creates evil. There is no misreading this. It says word for word that he creates evil.

Yahweh has done things that most people consider evil. He is capable of evil acts such as causing genocide and permitting slavery and rape. The closest it comes to claiming he doesn't do evil is stating that he doesn't sin. Sin has little, if anything, to do with good or evil. It only means what he does and doesn't like. The two are different. The only reason he doesn't sin is that no one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.
